yesterday we were on our way back from eating with pops for his birthday lunch. we were almost home. pratt was in the backseat of dad's truck. we were in the front. out of nowhere, clint hears pratt say, "whooooo?" with this little grin on his face. and he sort of turns his whole head to the side. and his little lips pucker up.
he whispers to me, "he's messing with you. do you hear him saying who?"
i look back at him, and he falls out laughing. and does it again.
whhhhoooo!?
a while back my mom bought him the old "horton hears a who". not the jim carrey one. the original. the good one. well, pratt LOVES it. and there for a while, he would constantly whine for it. just saying "who" over and over and over again until we finally agreed to put it in for him to watch.
it got to where when he would ask for it, i'd run over to him and say, "if you say 'who' one more time, i'm gonna tickle you until you wet your pants."
he would laugh and laugh and then really quietly, he would say, "whhhoooo!?" and then i'd tickle him. it was our little game.
it's been a few weeks since we've played the game. but the kid is like an elephant and remembers everything. and so yesterday as soon as i heard him in the backseat saying it really quietly and all strung out, i had to laugh.
so the last 10 minutes of our drive home, the cow ate the corn every single time pratt would utter whhhoooo!?
he is such a joy to us. it's hard to believe he's not even 2 yet. it seems like he and i have conversations sometimes. and i truly believe he understands 99% of what i say to him.
have wonderful mondays.
